THESE TWO

22/11/2017

These two don’t look very sweet and welcoming, and I don’t know if you believe me when I say the look of them make me happy?! Happy might not be the best describing word, but it feels satisfying to see that they appears on the canvas, just like that. No planning and no intentions about what they would look like. I didn’t even know there would be two of them. If I went to art school or had a boss I would most likely not be allowed to work like this. And I would not produce a single thing, I tell ya!

If you have thought “meat” while looking at them, I will agree. They are kind of “meaty”, macabre… Know when you’re so tired and low that you feel like you’re chewed and spit out again? And when anxiety rises all the way up to your neck so you feel kind of strangled? Yes, I’ve felt a lot like that many weeks now…

I love them! I did go to an art school and let me tell ya, it can be an inspiration killer. All the planning, the sketching, the color, the composition – it’s exhausting! And isn’t always fruitful. I think it’s great that you can just go with the flow. It’s the purest form of inspiration. Can’t wait to see the progress!

ABOUT ME

I do and share things by heart. I create personal texts, am a musician, sell original art and prints, make a special home and capture the magic with my camera – everything rather dark hued. Villa Betula is not just skimming the tops.

And by the way - my name is Maren Ingeborg Gråblomst and I’m Norwegian. Gråblomst means grey flower.
